What do I do to solve this issue?

i told my boyfriend i need words of affirmation to feel loved and desired and such, and he has a hard time verbally expressing those feelings or words so what can a compromise be? I can't change my love language, i can meet in the middle tho. I'm not saying it has to be love letters and affection all day everyday, but a compliment from my partner once every few days i dont think is too much to ask is it? How can we find a middle ground?

Hmm perhaps he texts you a compliment from time to time or did he loves you through text, now obviously not when you're in the fame room as him. But also maybe he gives you gifts or a rose randomly I don't know it shouldn't be hard to tell someone how you feel

Either do all that or tell him to man up

I've suggested things like that. It never happens

Well you can't fix something in a relationship if both aren't willing to fix it

True

If you love someone it comes naturally, in words is one way, sometimes people show love and appreciation by Time spent together, a touch or hug, stealing a kiss, a post it note with a heart on it, maybe flowers, cooking dinner, picnic, there are many different of affirming without saying the word, maybe you/he already does some of these things? That's just my opinion anyway 🦋

Yes he does. I guess the words just mean more to me cause we dont get those physical moments as often as a non long distance couple would uk?
